As you can see in the above table, for various loan amounts taken at the lowest rate of interest, EMI differs with changes to tenure at 15, 20 and 30 years. Your EMI is higher when you take loan for a shorter tenure of 15 years and it is lower when you apply for a higher tenure of 30 years.

Your EMI consists of both interest payment and principal repayment. Though the EMI amount will remain constant, every month the proportion of interest payment and principal repaid within each EMI is different. With every EMI, the proportion of principal repayment in EMI keeps increasing and the interest component in EMI keeps reducing.

The above table shows the longer your loan tenure, lower is the EMI you pay on the loan. However, your total interest outgo is significantly higher in a long tenure loan. In the above example, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan for a period of 30 years, you pay the lowest EMI of Rs. 0. However, you pay an interest of Rs. -100,000 on a Rs. 1,00,000 loan.
In contrast, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan from Citibank at the lowest loan rate offered for a period of 15 years, you pay a higher home loan EMI of Rs. 0 and pay an interest of only Rs. -100,000 which is less than half of what you paid in a 30 year loan. Hence, it is advisable to choose your loan tenure wisely as longer tenure means high interest expenses.

Tips to decide the right amount of EMI

Ascertain the amount you need to borrow: It is important that before approaching a bank for loan, you need to estimate the amount of loan you need to borrow. The amount of loan you need to borrow is a function of the value of the property and available funds with you. Remember house loan is a long term loan, and hence it is advisable to minimise your loan amount to the extent possible. Limit your loan amount to the balance funds you need to fund the property after accounting for your own available funds. Also, based on the EMI you can service, try to opt for lowest tenure of loans as long tenure loans result in huge interest outgo.

Review your current obligations: Before, taking a loan it is advisable to do an evaluation of your current monthly expenses including any EMI obligations that you have on your current loans. The assessment will help you to estimate the amount of EMI you can pay comfortably after taking into account other obligations. Once you arrive at the EMI you can service, you can also decide on the right loan tenure.

Calculate your Citibank home loan eligibility: Your home loan eligibility is a function of value of the property and assessment of your repayment capacity based on your monthly income. Citibank provides a LTV upto % and expects the borrower to fund the remaining value of property by own money. For example, at its lowest LTV %, Citibank would expect its borrowers to provide margin money of 100%. In case this margin payment is higher than your available funds as estimated by you, you might need to look for higher LTV loans, which may carry higher interest rates and hence, will result in higher EMIs.

Citibank will also estimate your Fixed Income to Obligations Ratio to ascertain the maximum EMI you can service based on your current income and other monthly expenses. The bank applies a certain ratio to your income to estimate your monthly expenses and then adds your other EMI obligations to calculate your fixed obligations. The proportion of fixed income to your calculated fixed obligations gives your FOIR. Citibank lends up to a maximum FOIR of . Based on the FOIR, the bank will also estimate the maximum amount of EMI you can service as a borrower. Citibank's assessment may be different from your own assessment. Any differences in assessment may require you to readjust your loan amount requirement. You may also consider paying back other running short term loans to improve your eligibility.

Will the Citibank home loan EMI remain constant or change in future? What happens in case of increase or decrease in interest rate?

Typically, the home loan EMI remains unchanged unless the customer requests for a change and the same is approved by Citibank subject to its eligibility conditions (note that nominal charges may apply for effecting a customer initiated change in EMI)

In case the floating rate of interest on your home loan increases, Citibank will typically keep the EMI constant but increase the loan tenure. So, you will pay the same EMI but for a longer duration. In case the interest rates increase to an extent that the revised loan tenure is more than the maximum permissible by Citibank, the bank may increase your EMI amount.

Will home loan EMI change in case of prepayment?

Citibank allows prepayment at nil charges or penalty in case of floating rate home loans.

When you make a prepayment, the outstanding principal amount on your home loan reduces. In this case, you may choose to either keep the EMI the same and reduce the loan tenure (that is pay off the loan faster) or reduce the EMI and keep the loan tenure the same (that is pay lesser amount every month). It is beneficial to keep the EMI constant and reduce the loan tenure as you pay less interest to the bank in this option.
